Machine Learning Modelling for Compressive Strength Prediction of Superplasticizer-Based Concrete

Abstract

Superplasticizers (SPs), also known as naturally high-water reducers, are substances used to create high-strength concrete. Due to the system’s complexity, predicting concrete’s compressive strength can be difficult. In this study, a prediction model for the compressive strength with SP was developed to handle the high-dimensional complex non-linear relationship between the mixing design of SP and the compressive strength of concrete. After performing a statistical analysis of the dataset, a correlation analysis was performed and then 16 supervised machine learning regression techniques were used. Finally, by using the Extra Trees method and creating the SP variable values, it was shown that the compressive strength values of concrete increased with the addition of SP in the optimal dose. The results indicate that superplasticizers can often reduce the water content of concrete by 25 to 35 per cent and consequently resistivity increased by 50 to 75 per cent and the optimum amount of superplasticizers was up to 12 kg per cubic meter as well. From one point, the increase in superplasticizers does not lead to a rise in the concrete compressive strength, and it remains constant. According to the findings, SP additive has the most impact on concrete’s compressive strength after cement. Given the scant information now available on concrete-including superplasticizer, it is prudent to design a concrete mixing plan for future studies. It is also conceivable to investigate how concrete’s compressive strength is impacted by water reduction.

Decoding children dental health risks: a machine learning approach to identifying key influencing factors

“…Recall, or sensitivity, measured the model’s ability to capture all actual high-risk cases, a critical factor in healthcare applications to avoid missed diagnoses. The F1 score, a harmonic mean of precision and recall, served as a balanced metric for assessing the models’ overall performance, especially important in scenarios demanding a trade-off between false positives and false negatives ( Sadegh-Zadeh et al, 2023 ). These metrics provided a multi-dimensional perspective on model performance, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses in various aspects of prediction.…”

Kajian Laboratorium Sika Viscocrete Pada Beton Normal Menggunakan Agregat Kasar Batu Karang

“…Selain silica fume, zat aditif lainnya yang sering digunakan untuk meningkatkan kekuatan beton adalah superplasticizer yaitu campuran kimia (chemical admixtures) yang memiliki efek mengurangi air dan secara signifikan meningkatkan workability campuran beton (Neville, 2011), sehingga meningkatkan kekuatan beton ke tingkatan yang sesuai (Sadegh-Zadeh et al, 2023). Superplasticizer dapat juga digunakan pada beton berpori dengan takaran 0,6% dapat meningkatkan kuat tekan beton mencapai 16,456 Mpa (Tyas et al, 2020) dan dapat juga digunakan pada beton yang agregat halusnya digantikan dengan limbah egg tray pada takaran 1,5% meningkatkan kuat tekan beton mencapai 23 Mpa (Rafael, 2022).…”

Machine Learning-Based Prediction of the Compressive Strength of Brazilian Concretes: A Dual-Dataset Study

“…This novel approach combines mechanics-based formulations with machine learning methodologies, thereby enhancing the precision and robustness of predictive models while preserving the underlying physical understanding of the resisting mechanisms. Additionally, the utilization of machine learning algorithms facilitates the prediction of additional concrete properties, such as flexural strength and durability, by effectively capturing intricate patterns and correlations within extensive datasets [24,26,27]. Consequently, the integration of machine learning with traditional engineering knowledge presents a promising avenue for advancing the field of concrete engineering, enabling the design and optimization of more sustainable and efficient structures [28,29].…”
